"this is one in my long list of classics to read. it was a nice story and a quick read. i like those kind once in a while. mostly i'm just happy to check one more off my list!"

It did a marvelous job of letting you figure out the meanings for yourself and gave the reader a nice feeling. I would recommend it to others and might even read it to my kids when they're older."
